Re: Troubles with snapmirror: cannot connect to source filler

Had a similar issue some time back. In my case, it turned out to be a name resolution problem. Try to ping the destination filer from the source filer (and vice versa) using it's hostname and see if you get a response. You may find that while the IP is ping-able, the hostname is not, which may point to the absence of a DNS entry for your filers in your locally configured DNS server. If this is the case, create a DNS entry for both filers. A workaround could be to add an entry in /etc/hosts for the partner filer.
